Updated Foundation Routine (BeautyBlender)

So during my last skincare haul video, I mentioned the BeautyBlender sponge makeup applicator at some length. I had gone to the store looking for a generic makeup-removing facial cleanser to clean it with which then inspired the whole change in my skincare routine.

Which then inspired a long ramble in that video about my love for the BeautyBlender...

So as promised in that video, here is my updated foundation routine using this product.

Here are some BeautyBlender basics to remember:-Always use the sponge damp. It expands to almost twice it's size and makes it much softer and springy..er. :) Dampening it really is what makes the product worthwhile and keeps it from soaking up (and wasting) most of your foundation like most other sponges.-Apply your foundation using bouncy motions. (I demo this in the video)-Clean it every 3 or 4 times using a gentle cleanser.

Great video! So glad you mentioned that you didn't love the Sonia Kashuk sponge at Target, because I was going to ask you that exact question. Now I'll be making a trip to Sephora to get the Beauty Blender...glad it's chic week & that I can get 15% off.

Hey girl! Do you use the same camera for your pictures are you do for recording? I'm a fellow beauty blogger and I realized I need a new camera so I can really improve my picture quality and your pictures are always really great!

Tiffany, dear, thank you SO much for this tutorial. I had been eyeballing the Beauty Blender for awhile, but never bought it. Seeing you demonstrate it with the Mat Velvet + just sealed the deal. I now use both because of your recommendations. Thanks so much!

You go through the names of the products so fast! Is there anywhere you list all the products you used outside of the video? I'm new here and I can't watch a lot of the videos because of my internet usage agreement :( I would love to know if there is a place I can see all the product info :)

I had one and it worked excellent. I wanted to get a new one but it's quite costly so I opted for a cheaper choice (http://winstoniastore.com/makeup-blender-sponge-foundation-applicator.html), it works as good as BeautyBlender's.
